My Favorite Ways to Stay Fit This Summer: Preparing your summer bod starts way before the temperatures hit the 100s and continues throughout the summer!
In order to save you some time researching and planning out your workouts for the summer, I’ve put together my top four favorite workouts to keep you fit (while still leaving you time for the kids!):
- Four Minute Tabata Workout
- Oxygen Magazine Booty Building Workout
- Dog Friendly Workout
- Top Ten At-Home Exercise for Total Body Toning
*And if you’re just beginning your transformation journey or want some amazing transformation tools, here is THE all-in-one post (filled with lots of links!) to get you started: How to Begin Your Transformation Journey?Step-by-Step
My Go-To Smoothie and Shake Recipes: On a hot summer day (and really, any day, right?), a smoothie or shake is a perfect meal! Smoothies help pack in those healthy micronutrients without even realizing you’re drinking your veggies.
They’re also a great way to stay cool and save yourself some time with meal prep?exactly what this mama needs with four littles running around all season long. Just add the ingredients to your blender and voila! Total plus: All of the recipes below are Powell Pack approved, kid-friendly treats that our family loves to drink! YUM.
Top Family Activities + Family Workouts: For me, summer is all about savoring that extra time with the kids and trying new things. While swimming and splash pads are a great way to cool down, we can’t ignore the fact that workouts are still a necessity too!
Adding a kid-friendly element to things like a Tabata workout is a great way to stay fit AND enjoy quality time as a family. Fit some “screen free” time into your daily summer schedule and get your whole family moving this summer with some of my favorite kid-friendly activities below.
- Mommy & Me Tabata Workout
- Get Outside and Celebrate Earth Day!

Seven years ago my mom?s last words to me were ?I love you, please take good care of yourself!? I took those words to heart and began a journey to good health. Unfortunately, about three years ago my husband and I began caring for his dad, who was diagnosed with dementia. The last three years have been some of the hardest. In the middle of all of this, my health took a back seat. And not just a back seat, it was shoved all the way to the back of the bus! So now I find myself 25 lbs heavier, developing health issues and struggling with an emotional eating habit that probably verges on a food addiction. Life has recently begun to get back to a new normal. My father-in-law passed away a year ago but it has taken this long to try to process everything and try to move on. So I could definitely use this membership to begin regaining my good health. I promised my mom I would take good care of myself and I will keep that promise even if I don?t win. But this app would sure make it more attainable. Thanks!
The reason I?d be perfect for this drawing is because of two reasons. 1. I live in a very small town and don?t have access to trainers or a stacked gym so a lot of my workout have to happen at home.
2. I have two beautiful boys but have struggles with my health after my second was born. I?ve never really had to work out before and now I am trying my best but due to the small town, I don?t exactly know where to start.
I want to win this because I?m determined to leave a new legacy for my family. You see, I grew up in a family of morbid obesity, food addiction, yo-yo dieting, depression and alcohol abuse. The focus was always on what diet fad could lose the weight and allowing us children to eat whatever we wanted so the addiction to food could be lived out through our young metabolisms. Exercise and an active lifestyle was not pursued with passion or longevity. As an adult I am determined to rewrite the story and not follow in those footsteps. My husband and I live a very active lifestyle and have done our best to weave the importance of nutrition into the DNA of our family. I am constantly trying to learn and grow more in my knowledge of health and fitness and I believe winning this lifetime membership could aid in that. You two have helped so many already in rewriting their stories and my hope is that you?ll do the same for us. #leavinganewlegacy
I have wanted to try this app for a long time but with financial struggles it?s not possible right now. I have seen so many success stories & would love to be able to use this as a tool to better myself. Please please help!!
I really truly feel that everyone deserves to win this. We owe it to ourselves to be healthy and not live a life of pain & pills if we can help it. Thank you for all that you and your wife do for so many. Always know your impact. And yes, I’d love to win too! All the best to you!
I?ve been a fan since EWL (miss that show too, btw!) and have your all?s books! How you explain, educate and encourage on all your platforms is what?s helped me feel in control of my own health and wellness.
I have PCOS and I know I?ll have it for life…I?ve wanted to get the app, but funds haven?t allowed me to. I?d love to win so I could have this tool for life!
I would love to win this prize. I love to workout and my mom has been looking to get back in shape but she never really has the motivation to come to the gym with me. She loves you guys and has watched your show and bought books. I really think that if I won, that would make her finally workout with me and we would both be much happier being in shape and working together. It would really help grow our relationship as mother and daughter 🙂
I?d love to win the lifetime membership because this program works and resonates with my hectic lifestyle (mom of 3 guys, REALTOR, social butterfly, wife to high school sweetheart, and avid daily workout person-to-clear-head-and-be-best-mom,wife,Friend,sister,daughter-in-law-I-can-be!!! I do this program (different) levels with my long time friend Beth Tashjian @bethtashtransform and we hold eachother accountable. We?ve worked out together off and on for years but have always been there for eachother to lean on through injuries, kid issues, etc. I also like the carb cycling this program offers and it works for me. I also love how there are choices for grab to go and fast food. I need things to follow or I lose momentum and go off course ? I hope I can win this so I can really keep up with this program, commitment and always be my best! Thanks to Heidi and Chris for being motivational and inspirational. You do make the balance of it all look so easy but we all know it? takes dedication and follow though and setting GOALS! Thanks and even if I don?t win, I will do my best to keep up with this program because I love it!
Awwe!!??
I would LOVE to win! Recently, I?ve been trying to make positive changes in all aspects of my life! The thing is, I don?t know where to start. My exercise ends up being mostly cardio, since it?s so easy! I would love to feel stronger and more confident in my body! I tagged my mom in the comments as my lifetime workout buddy. We are both in similar life situations and trying to improve!! Thanks!!
I have struggled with my weight for what seems like my entire life. About 7 years ago I got in shape – largely from watching Extreme Makeover! I had two children back to back when I got married and fell back into my old routines. I gained nearly 100 pounds. Yesterday I turned 30 and my body has changed so much. I weight almost 300 pounds and weight loss has seemed impossible. I want to lose weight and reclaim my life. I want my kids to see a healthy mom and know that it?s possible to live a healthy life and feel good about yourself. I haven?t been that example for them up to this point. Winning this would be a much needed push in the right direction and I would be honored to be coached by two people I admire so much!
